But once they move in, and begin feeding on your pet’s blood, they can cause a wide range of health problems ranging from skin infections to Tick Fever. So, it becomes all the more necessary to adopt some preventive measures to keep your pets safe from flea and tick infestation. Here are 10 suggestions to keep these ectoparasites as far away from your pampered pooch as possible:
1. Prevention is best done with one of the many vet-approved flea (and tick) preparations available in the market — Speak to your veterinarian to find the best, most appropriate product for your dog. There are many spot-ons, sprays, collars, and shampoos available in the market, each formulated to tackle specific needs. The best ones that we have tried and tested are Protector Spoton for dogs, Freedom Spray and Frontline spot-on. In addition, the pet can be given regular ridd baths as a preventive measure to keep ticks and fleas at bay. You can also prepare a natural flea and tick spray from a blend of peppermint oil, cedar oil, and other natural oils.
